Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
1. A bonding process, comprising: providing a circuit substrate on a fixture, wherein the circuit substrate has a mounting surface and mounting portions formed on the mounting surface; performing a substrate padding process including placing a spacer on the fixture for increasing warpage of the circuit substrate; mounting a package onto the mounting surface of the circuit substrate, wherein the package has a bottom surface and connectors formed on the bottom surface of the package; and performing a reflow process and bonding the connectors of the package to the mounting portions of the circuit substrate.
2. The process according to claim 1 , wherein performing a substrate padding process includes placing the spacer on the fixture, underneath the circuit substrate and between the circuit substrate and the fixture to bend the circuit substrate and turn the mounting surface into a first warped surface.
3. The process according to claim 2 , wherein the package includes at least one first die and a plurality of second dies, and placing a spacer includes placing at least one spacer beneath the circuit substrate at a position corresponding to a position of the at least one first die of the package.
4. The process according to claim 3 , wherein a vertical projection of the at least one spacer is partially overlapped with a vertical projection of the at least one first die.
5. The process according to claim 3 , wherein a vertical projection of the at least one spacer is fully overlapped with a vertical projection of the at least one first die.
6. The process according to claim 3 , wherein the at least one first die comprises at least one logic die, and the plurality of second dies comprise memory dies.
7. The process according to claim 2 , wherein placing a spacer includes inserting one spacer having a varying thickness underneath the circuit substrate and at a central position of the fixture to uplift portions of the circuit substrate.
8. The process according to claim 2 , wherein performing the reflow process turns the bottom surface of the package into a second warped surface, and the first warped surface and the second warped surface are substantially in parallel to each other and spaced apart with a constant distance with the connectors and the mounting portions located in-between.
9. The process according to claim 1 , wherein performing the reflow process after performing the substrate padding process turns the bottom surface of the package and the mounting surface of the circuit substrate substantially in parallel to each other and spaced apart with a constant distance with the connectors and the mounting portions located in-between.
10. The process according to claim 2 , further comprising removing the fixture and the spacer after bonding the connectors of the package to the mounting portions of the circuit substrate.
11. A process, comprising: providing a package having a first die and a second die, wherein the first and second dies are different types of dies; performing a warpage assessing process; providing a circuit substrate having a first warpage level includes providing the circuit substrate to a fixture and inserting a spacer on the fixture for increasing warpage of the circuit substrate; mounting the package onto the circuit substrate; and heating the package under the elevated temperature and bonding the package to the circuit substrate under the elevated temperature, wherein the package heated under the elevated temperature is warped with a second warpage level, and the first warpage level is substantially in conformity with the second warpage level.
12. The process according to claim 11 , wherein performing a warpage assessing process includes performing simulation of the package under an elevated temperature to measure and calculate surface conditions of a warped surface of the package facing the circuit substrate to determine a third warpage level of the package under the elevated temperature, the third warpage level is substantially in conformity with the first or second warpage level.
13. The process according to claim 12 , wherein the surface conditions comprise topography of the warped surface of the package.
14. The process according to claim 11 , wherein the spacer is inserted between the circuit substrate and the fixture and beneath the circuit substrate to form a first warped surface of the circuit substrate for mounting the package.
15. The process according to claim 14 , wherein the package heated under the elevated temperature is warped to form a second warp surface facing the circuit substrate, a geometric shape of the second warped surface of the package is substantially the same as a geometric shape of the first warped surface of the circuit substrate.
16. A method, comprising: providing a fixture; disposing at least one spacer on the fixture; disposing a circuit substrate on the at least one spacer, over the fixture and covering the at least one spacer for increasing warpage of the circuit substrate, wherein the circuit substrate has a mounting surface and mounting portions formed on the mounting surface, and the mounting surface includes a curved surface; mounting a package onto the mounting surface of the circuit substrate, wherein the package has a lower surface and connectors formed on the lower surface of the package; and performing a reflow process and bonding the connectors of the package to the mounting portions of the circuit substrate.
17. The method according to claim 16 , wherein the package includes at least one first die and a plurality of second dies, and disposing the at least one spacer includes placing the at least one spacer on the fixture at a position corresponding to a position of the at least one first die of the package after mounting the package.
18. The method according to claim 17 , wherein a vertical projection of the at least one spacer is partially overlapped with a vertical projection of the at least one first die.
19. The method according to claim 17 , wherein a vertical projection of the at least one spacer is fully overlapped with a vertical projection of the at least one first die.
20. The method according to claim 16 , wherein disposing the at least one spacer includes inserting at least one spacer having a varying thickness underneath the circuit substrate and at a central position of the fixture to uplift portions of the circuit substrate.
